Her work has been published in top scholarly journals, including the Journal of Applied Psychology, Leadership Quarterly, Human Resource Management Review, and the Journal of Organizational Behavior, presented at national and international conferences, and featured by national and international media, including Forbes.com, Newsweek Japan, Fox News, The Today Show, Stylist (UK), and The Victoria Harbor Times (Australia).

She summarizes the basic ground of this new direction in her TEDx talk.
